Platform commands

Platform commands enable you to interact directly with the Deepomatic web platform from your terminal. Here is the list of actions that you can do:
add-images: upload images and their metadata directly from your local machine
model: use the Deepomatic cloud API to run inferences on your trained models (infer, draw or blur based on the type of output that you require)
app: interact with visual automation applications (create or delete applications)
app-version: interact application versions (create or delete application versions)
service: add services to your visual automation applications
All these actions use the Deepomatic Studio credentials DEEPOMATIC_API_KEY.  Make sure you have followed the previous section to setup your command line environment:
Setup your API key
Add images
Organization and project
First, you will need to retrieve the org (organization name) and project_name from Deepomatic platform. This is the destination project for the upload. Simply go into the project and retrieve the URL which will contain the project name: https://studio.deepomatic.com/<org>/project-views/<project_name>/views.
Raw local images
To upload all images directly to the specified project , you can specify either:
A single image file to be uploaded.
A directory, in which case all images directly inside the directory will be uploaded.
All images in the directory and subdirectories using the --recursive option
Upload simple images to Deepomatic Platform
1
# Upload simple image
2
deepo platform add-images -o org -p myproject -i myimage.jpg
3
​
4
# Upload all images in directory
5
deepo platform add-images -o org -p myproject -i mydir
6
​
7
# Upload all images in directory and subdirectories
8
deepo platform add-images -o org -p myproject -i mydir --recursive
Copied!
Images and metadata
Sometime you will already have information regarding the images that you'd like to upload along the image. That could be information for pretagging the image, preexisting bounding boxes or metadata such as image provenance.
If you have a large quantity of images stored locally, it is better to use the txt format as well. 
In order to pass it along with the image during upload time, you will need to use the text dataset format (which used to be a JSON format), more information about the format can be found on the Deepomatic Studio text file upload. Beware to :
use a .txt extension
use the right key in the data field for each image. When the image is stored locally use the key file instead of url.
1
# Upload images stored locally using a txt file
2
deepo platform add-images -o org -p myproject -i path/to_upload.txt --txt
Copied!
The text file format is not supported yet, but will be very soon. In the meantime, old JSON format are still supported to add metadata to not annotated images.
More about the old JSON format here ​
Model commands
Each model version is deployed as a web API after it has been trained on the platform. To run some inferences and evaluate the performances of your trained model version, you can use Deepomatic CLI.
Sample commands
Drawing a prediction with Deepomatic API
1
deepo platform model infer -i img.jpg -o pred.json -r 12345
Copied!
Run model actions
There are three different model actions that you can use:
infer: Compute predictions only.
draw: Display the prediction result, whether tags or the bounding boxes.
blur: Blur the inside of the bounding boxes.
They follow the same recipe:
1.Retrieve one or several inputs.
2.Compute predictions using the trained neural network
3.Output the result in different formats: image, video, JSON, stream, etc.
Generic command
1
deepo platform model infer -i myinput -o myoutput1 myoutput2 ...
Copied!
Input
Input types
The Deepomatic CLI supports different types of input:
Image: Supported formats include bmp, jpeg, jpg , jpe,png, tif and tiff.
Video: Supported formats include avi, mp4, webm and mjpg.
Studio JSON: Deepomatic Studio JSON format, used to specify several images or videos stored locally.
Sample input JSON format
1
{
2
  "images": [
3
  	{
4
  		"location": "/path/to/img.jpg"
5
  	},
6
  	{
7
  		"location": "/path/to/video.mp4"
8
  	},
9
  ]
10
}

Directory: Analyse all images and videos found in the directory.
Digit: Retrieve the stream from the corresponding device. For instance, 0 for the installed webcam.
Network stream: Supported network streams include rtsp, http and https.
Specify input
Inputs are specified using the -i for input option. Below an example with each type of inputs.
Sample input commands
1
deepo platform model infer -i /path/to/my_img.bmp ...        # Image
2
deepo platform model infer -i /path/to/my_vid.mp4 ...        # Video
3
deepo platform model infer -i /path/to/my_studio.json ...    # Studio JSON
4
deepo platform model infer -i /path/to/my_dir ...            # Directory
5
deepo platform model infer -i 0 ...                          # Device number
6
deepo platform model infer -i rtsp://ip:port/channel ...     # RTSP stream

Output
Output types
The Deepomatic CLI supports different types of output:
Image: Supported formats include bmp, jpeg, jpg , jpe,png, tif and tiff.
Video: Supported formats include avi and mp4.
Run JSON: Deepomatic Run JSON format for raw predictions.
Studio JSON: Deepomatic Studio JSON format for Studio-like prediction scores. This is specified using the -s or --studio_format option.
Integer wildcard JSON: A standard Run/Studio JSON, except that the name contains the frame number. For instance -o frame %03d.json will output frame001.json, frame002.json, ...
String wildcard JSON: Same as the integer wildcard except this time the frame name is used. For instance -o pred_%s.jpg will output pred_img1_123.json, pred_img2_123.json, ...
Standard output: On rare occasions you might want to output the model results directly to the process standard output using the stdout option. For instance this allows you to stream directly to vlc.
Display output: Opens a window and displays the result. Quit with q.
Specify output
Output are specified using the -o for output option. Below an example with each type of inputs.
Please note that in order to avoid duplicate computations, it is possible to specify several outputs at the same time, for instance to blur an image and store the predictions.
Sample output commands
1
deepo platform model draw -i img.jpg -o img_drawn.jpg ...         # Image
2
deepo platform model draw -i vid.mp4 -o img_drawn_%04d.jpg ...    # Wildcard images
3
deepo platform model draw -i vid.mp4 -o vid_drawn.mp4 ...         # Video
4
deepo platform model draw -i img.jpg -o pred.json ...             # Run JSON
5
deepo platform model draw -i img.jpg -o pred.json -s  ...         # Studio JSON
6
deepo platform model draw -i vid.mp4 -o pred_%s.json ...          # String wildcard JSON
7
deepo platform model draw -i vid.mp4 -o pred_%04d.json ...        # Integer wildcard JSON
8
deepo platform model draw -i vid.mp4 -o stdout ...                # Standard output
9
deepo platform model draw -i vid.mp4 -o window ...                # Display output
10
deepo platform model draw -i vid.mp4 -o vid_drawn.mp4 pred_%04d.json  ...  # Multiple outputs
